Cabin: Mid-Ship Balcony

This was our first cruise on NCL, but our third to Norway.

Our overall impression of the Jade was very good, lots to like.

It seems larger than it was, with lots of deck space, and a lovely wide promenade deck. There were several bars and lounges, each with different activities in the evening, so there was a very pleasant buzzy atmosphere, plenty going on. Apart from the buffet at times, the ship didn't feel crowded.

Cabin Review

Mid-Ship Balcony

Comfortable bed. Good storage apart from few horizontal surfaces

Only one bedside table and no coffee table

No chair, just a weird round stool thing.

Coffee maker, fridge, good hair dryer.

Good view down from balcony, lifeboats are tucked underneath and do not obstruct view.

Good size television, but not on demand. We got timetable of films from customer service desk, then they changed the programming halfway through the week!

Good shower, toiletries provided in wall mounted dispensers.

Tiny cramped toilet, but seemed to work ok!

Port Reviews

Stavanger

Pleasant enough town although not very scenic. We walked around the old town, used the free wifi in the public library, and had coffee in one of the many cafés.

Alesund

Very interesting buildings, easy to walk around. Didn't walk up Mount Aksla, although it looked ok if you are reasonably fit.

Geiranger

Very good weather on our day ashore. We walked up the metal steps by the waterfall in town, didn't get wet! Lovely views at the top. Nice cafe in the Fjord Centre.

Free wifi and free toilets at the tourist information centre near the dock

Bergen

Been here three times now. Long queues for the funicular railway, and we didn't feel like walking up this time, but we have done so before, took about an hour at a relaxed pace. Easy well marked footpath through the woods.

This time we walked around the town, lots of weddings as it was a Saturday, and interesting to see so many guests in Norwegian national dress.

Visited the military museum in the old castle area. Surprisingly interesting, as well as free, and had clean toilets.
